What a fun read! Roshani Chokshi masterfully weaves a gilded web of heists, puzzles and politics; all of which is set in a thin layer of true 1889 Paris history.

NEVERNIGHT by Jay Kristoff
I stopped reading this book just under halfway. Personally, I am surprised that I even got that far.
I really tried to finish this book mainly because I paid full price for a new copy from Amazon. Sadly, after avoiding eye contact with it for more than a week, I decided to call it quits and pick up another book.

THE WIFE BETWEEN US by Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen
Now I understand why the blurb of this book is so vague and enigmatic – It thrives on mystery and twists. Knowing or guessing just one of the many twists could ruin the whole story. Greer and Sarah expertly weave a web of half-truths which lead readers to interpret the storyline inaccurately.
AUGUST 2020 Monthly Spotlight
Whether your summer consists of chilling in your back garden and getting some Vitamin D or going on a world-class expedition and hiking up a mountain, I hope you’re taking advantage of the hot weather (at least for those of us in the UK). Above all I hope everyone is keeping safe. You know the drill, below are new release this month that we are champing at the bit to read:
WHO MOVED MY CHEESE by Spencer Johnson
This is book is a good, quick read that packs a punch; I love the simplicity and clarity it presents.
Centred on change, “who moved my cheese” challenges readers to think differently about change and explains how this mindset shift can equip us for success. Through the central story we learn not to allow fear, particularly fear of change, to hold us back.
HEART & HUSTLE by Patricia Bright
Heart and Hustle was a great read full of useful tips for life and for business. Having been a long time follower of Patricia Bright on YouTube, I rushed to pick up this book as I hoped it would have her huge YouTube personality and more of her life story. Sadly, whilst the tone of the book was friendly and conversational, I felt like it missed a bit of Patricia Bright’s warmth. Although I loved that there were a few stories of her life and upbringing, I personally wanted more.
